Mawson had been with Shackleton's 1908 Expedition & was one of the first group to climb Mount Erebus, the highest point on the Antarctic continent. The AAE was essentially a scientific project that made major contributions in geology, meteorology, geo-magnetism & biology. It has been called "the first major scientific exploring venture by Australians beyond their shores". In addition, the extensive physical exploration & associated cartography laid the basis for Australia's later claim to what became the AAT. Mawson's epic editing of the 22 volumes of the AAE "Scientific Reports" was completed only in 1947.

    THE JAMES CAIRD SOCIETY JOURNAL Number Six Antarctic Exploration Sir Ernest Shackleton MARCH 2012 1 Shackleton and a friend (Oliver Locker Lampson) in Cromer, c.1910. Image courtesy of Cromer Museum. 2 The James Caird Society Journal – Number Six March 2012 The Centennial season has arrived. Having celebrated Shackleton’s British Antarctic (Nimrod) Expedition, courtesy of the ‘Matrix Shackleton Centenary Expedition’, in 2008/9, we now turn our attention to the events of 1910/12. This was a period when 3 very extraordinary and ambitious men (Amundsen, Scott and Mawson) headed south, to a mixture of acclaim and tragedy. A little later (in 2014) we will be celebrating Sir Ernest’s ‘crowning glory’ –the Centenary of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic (Endurance) Expedition 1914/17. Shackleton failed in his main objective (to be the first to cross from one side of Antarctica to the other). He even failed to commence his land journey from the Weddell Sea coast to Ross Island. However, the rescue of his entire team from the ice and extreme cold (made possible by the remarkable voyage of the James Caird and the first crossing of South Georgia’s interior) was a remarkable feat and is the reason why most of us revere our polar hero and choose to be members of this Society. For all the alleged shenanigans between Scott and Shackleton, it would be a travesty if ‘Number Six’ failed to honour Captain Scott’s remarkable achievements - in particular, the important geographical and scientific work carried out on the Discovery and Terra Nova expeditions (1901-3 and 1910-12 respectively).

Because Mackintosh had intended to use Aurora as the party's main living quarters, most of the shore party's personal gear, food, equipment and fuel was still aboard when the ship departed. Although the sledging rations intended for Shackleton's depots had been landed, [41] the ten stranded men were left with "only the clothes on their backs". We cannot expect rescue before then, and so we must conserve and economize on what we have, and we must seek and apply what substitutes we can gather". On the last day of August Mackintosh recorded in his diary the work that had been completed during the winter, and ended: "Tomorrow we start for Hut Point". The second season's work was planned in three stages. Nine men in teams of three would undertake the sledging work. The first stage, hauling over the sea ice to Hut Point, started on 1 September , and was completed without mishap by the end of the month. Shortly after the main march to Mount Hope began, on 1 January , the failure of a Primus stove led to three men Cope, Jack and Gaze returning to Cape Evans, [49] where they joined Stevens. The scientist had remained at the base to take weather measurements and watch for the ship.

School of English, Journalism and European Languages, University of Tasmania, Private Bag 82, Hobart, Tasmania 7005, Australia. Email: [email protected] The story of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (AAE) 1911–1914 has often been told in many publications which also refer to the drama of the Far-Eastern Sledging Journey from which Mawson trudged back to base, arriving in a desperate condition after both his companions, Xavier Mertz and Belgrave Ninnis, had died. Sir Douglas Mawson’s career is well documented but we know less about his team of men and their work. What do we know of Mertz? The literature repeatedly notes that he was Swiss, held a doctorate in law, was a ski champion, looked after the expedition’s dogs and died, mysteriously, on that Far-Eastern Sledging Journey. Details of his death have stimulated much discussion. But what of his life? Born in Basel in1882, he was six months younger than Mawson. With Ninnis he sailed from London on the AAE’s S.Y.

  • JCS Journal No. 9
    THE JAMES CAIRD SOCIETY THE JAMES CAIRD SOCIETY JOURNAL Number Nine Antarctic Exploration Sir Ernest Shackleton May 2018 1 2 The James Caird Society Journal – Number Nine Welcome, once more, to the latest JCS Journal (‘Number Nine’). Having succeeded Dr Jan Piggott as editor, I published my first Journal in April 2007 (‘Number Three’). As I write this introduction, therefore, I celebrate ten years in the ‘job’. Unquestionably it has been (and is) a lot of hard work but this effort is far outweighed by the excitement of being able to disseminate new insights and research on our favourite polar man. I have been helped, along the way, by many talented and willing authors, academics and enthusiasts. In the main, the material proffered over the years has been of such a high standard it convinced me to publish the The Shackleton Centenary Book (2014), Sutherland House Publishing, ISBN 978- 0-9576293-0-1, in January 2014 – cherry-picking the best articles and essays. This Limited Edition was fully-subscribed and, if I may say so, a great success. I believe the JCS can be proud of this important legacy. The book and the Journals are significant educational tools for anyone interested in the history of polar exploration. In ‘Number Nine’ I publish, in full, a lecture (together with a synthesised timeline) delivered by your editor on 20th May 2017 in Dundee at a polar convention. It is entitled ‘The Ross Sea Party – Debacle or Miracle? The RSP has always fascinated me and in researching for this lecture my eyes were opened to the truly incredible (and often unsung) achievements of this ill-fated expedition.
